People Wonder
WHEN they find how rapidly health
is restored by taking Ayer's Sar
saparilla. The reason is that thi»
preparation contains only the purest
and most powerful alteratives and
tonics. To thousands yearly it prove* a
veritable elixir of life.
Mrs. Jos. Lake, Brockway Centre,
Mich., writes: "Liver complaint and
indigestion made my life a burden
and came near ending my existence.
For more than four years X suffered un
told agony. I was reduced almost to
a skeleton, and hardly had strength to
drag myself about. All kinds of food
distressed me, and only the most deli
cate could be digested at all. "Within
the time mentioned several physicians
treated me without giving relief. Noth
ing that I took seemed to do any per
manent good until I began the use of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which has pro
duced wonderful results. Soon after
.commencing to take the Sarsaparilla I
could see an
Improvement
in my condition, my appetite began to
return and with it came the ability to
digest all the food taken, my strength
improved each day, and after a few
months of faithful attention to yonr
directions, I found myself a well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me a
new lease of life, and I cannot thank
you too much."
"We, the undersigned, citizens of
Brockway Centre, Mich., hereby certify
that the above statement, made by
Mrs. Lake, is true in every particular
and entitled to full credence."—O. P.
Chamberlain, G. W. Waring, C. A.
Wells, Druggist.
" My brother, in England, was, for a
long time, unable to attend to his occu
fation, by reason of sores on his foot,
sent him Ayer's Almanac and the tes
timonials it contained induced him to
try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. After using it
a little while, he was cured, and is now
a well man, working in a sugar mill
at Brisbane, Queensland, Australia." —

BEAITTT-A TANKEU GIRI-.
Oh, weak alike are pen and tongue
To picture pretty Mary's graces;
The amorous poets who have sung
Of fairy forms and angel laces
Ne'er looked upon a face so sweet.
An eye so bright, aeheek so rosy,
A form so lovely, go complete.
Of female charms so fair a poay.
Tbe beauty of her fact outvies
The Bummer garden's rich adorning.
The tint ber velvet cheek that dyes
Is like the new blown rose of morning.
Her tresses, black a a let, caress
A neck as white as alabaster;
Wbo looks upon her loveliness
Looks surely to his heart's disaster.
But not the beauty of her form
„ Or face, whloh every eye enriches,
Is lovely Mary's sweetrst chnrm ;
Her sweet demeanor more bewitches ;
Her smile Is like the morning eye
When opening spring the earth rejoices
And like tbe richest melody
Of birds, the music of her voice Is.

Oh, March Is a roilcklng fellow 1
He whistles, he shouts and he sings ;
His nature Ir merry and mellow,
And cheery the challenge he flings
Over the bills and the valleys,
Over the wild western ways.
Where the spirit of Winter still rallies
His ooborts of fiercest affiays.
Soon will sweet April, his sister.
Follow the rough path he tread-t, [her
And (lowers that have loved her and missed
Will tlmldlv lift up their beads :
And she'll weep for the acts of htr brother,
And her tearß the snowdrops will quaff,
Till suddenly, somehow or other,
Out ripples ber beautiful laugh.
Oh, March isa roilcklng fellow,
A stormy and blustering old beiu;
His nature Is merry and mellow ;
Arm" yet. when his time comes to go,
He'll not be missed, lor a sweeter
Sovere'gn will reign in his place ;
And daffodllls gaylv will greet h>r,
And buttercups lausb in her face !

A SLIP OF THE PEN.
It was all Dicky Carsbaltoo's fault.
In ma' y respec's an unliable youth, be
cat.not be sad to be p ssessed of tbe finer
feelings, and pethaps is not aware'if the
extent of tbe discomfort he produced in
more sensitive people. A frequenter of
part'es of every deciption, he is fond of
varying tbe monotony of tbe social routine
by various little practices. Of these bis fa
vorite—not, alasl peculiar to himself—is
commonly known sespoilibg spot. When
ever Dicky sees a pa-rof people who appear
to take particular delight, in one another's
society, showing a tendency to seek unto
themselves retreads, be is never satisfied un
til, by some bold strtke or cunning strata
gem, be has succeeded in separating tbem,
or at least in destroying their enj oyraent for
tbe rest of one evening.
The happy possessor of an rxhaust.leas
supply of self-cot fidence and the most
brazen impudence—the cbjeots of his at
tack, moreover, being from the nature of
their position comparatively defenseless—
it is needless to add that, though Dicky has
hia failnres on reo ird.tbey are greatly out
stripped in numbers by bis successes. So
there is nothing wonderful in tbe fact that
Dicky was at the bottom of hat unfortunate
affair with Jack ard E-hel.
Matters bad Ion:; been in a delicate and
critical state between those young people.
Jack bad told himself over and over again
that Ethel was a flirt, and that he for one
bad no intention of adding himself to tbe
list of ber victims, while she bad relieved
her feelings by repeatedly assuring herself
that Jack was a otoss fellow, who oared for
nothing but his books and was quite im
pervious to tbe charms pf womanhood.
But that night at tbe Warrit gtors things
really did seem to be taking a turn for tbe
better. Ethel had boldly turned ber back
on half a dozen other admireis, and Jack,
looking down into ber honest eyes, was
rapidly forgetting tbe doubts and fears
which had tormen'ed him during the last
months.
There is no knowing what m'-ght not have
happened bad it not been for Dicky, wbo
came up to tbem at this hopeful siage of
affairs, his shoulders in bis ears, bis hair
brushed to a nicety, and with tbe most un
mistakable look of mischief in bis prominent
eyes.
' Good evening, Miss Mariner," he said,
taking E'hel's hand in bis and squeezing it
with impressemeot; and then tbe two poor
things, suddenly awakened . from their
dream, stood there chill and helpless while
Dicky fired off bis accustomed volley of
chaff, and Ethel, with feminine presence of
mind, ventured on ore or two little popguns
on her own account.
"Miss Mariner," he said at last, with a
satirfied glance at JV.ck's sullen face, "have
yon been into tbe conservator)? They've
pnt in a lot of pink lamps and there's tbe
most scrumptious tote a tete chair you can
io'spine."
Poor Ethel looked up at Jack, wbo stood
by furious and Bulky.
"Be is only too gad to get rid of me. He
hasn't tbe ordinary kindness to rescue me
from this bore. And I have been so horri
bly amiable to bim,' 1 she thought iv de
spair.
"If she likes that popinjay let ber go with
him! I'm sorry for ber taste, that's all,"
reflected And in another minute
Ethel found herself actually seated in the
tele a-tete chair with Dicky, whose large
eyes were rolling triompbsntly in tbe light
of the rise colored lamps.
She d d not succeed in making ber escape
till it, was time to go home. J ;ck was no
where to be seen, and Bbc drove back in the
chill giay morning with tbe heaviest hea.'t
she had known for roauy days.
"Elbe!," said her mother at breakfast the
next mcr ing, -'did you have a pleasant
lima at the V\ ariington-'?''
Uii, jes, mamma," mid Ethel, drearily.
She was pale and heavy e>td; I think she
had not slept al! night.
"And who weie tbere," went on Mrs.
M 'iiner. helping herself to buttered eggs
with cheery bui-knei-s.
E bel enumerated various people. "And
1) ck> Caishalmn," she concluded, "and
Jack Davenant "
Tbe last name slipped out' with exagger
ated caielessness, and yet it was whining
about in tbe poor girl's bead and bad been
doing so for tbe last five or six hju>B like
an im risced blue bottle In a glass.
"J<ck—Jack—Jack Davenant." Was
she never to bave another definite tbongbt
again?
"By the by," said Mrs. Mariner, as she
rose from the table, "will you send a note
to Florence Byrut? I want ber io lunch
here tomorrow at half past 1. Tbe Single
tons are coming."
Etbsl moved to tbe writing table, blush
ing faintly. She remembered that Mrs.
Byrne was Jack Davenant's cousin.
Etbel listlessly took up ber pen and pull
ed a sheet of paper toward ber. It was not
stamped with tbe address, but she failed to
notice this, and'began at once:
"My dear Mrs. Byrne."
Then she stopped short, snd tbe buzzing
in ber brain went on worse than ever.
Tbe note got written at last, all but tbe
signature, and then she began' to wonder
dreamily if she should sign betself "Tours
very sincerely," or "Yours affectionately "
"Etbel, Ethel!" cried her mother, putting
ber bead in at tbe door, "I am going out.
Give me the note foi Florenoe. I can take
it to the poet."
Guilty and ashamed, Ethel seized her
pen and wrote hastily, but in a bold band:
Yours very Mncerely,
"Jack Davenant."
Mrs. Byrne neither caxe to lunch nor an
swered the Mariners' invitation Mrs.
Mariner expressed surprise at t-<is want of
o'iurtesy and apologized to the Singleton*
for having no one to meet them
"Are you Rare, Ethel, yon told ber the
right day? Florence is ia town, I know, and
it is so unlike her to be rude."
'I think it was all right, mamma," Ethel
replied vaguely, and never gave another
thought to the matter.
But the morning of the next day, as she
was practicing her singing in the great hoi
land-shrouded dining room, the door wax
flung open to admit a berjign and onme'y
lady. »h i advanced smili g toward ber.
"Mrs. Byrne!'' cried E bel in some sur
prise, getting off the music stool.
Mrs. Byrne established herself comfort
ably in a deeparm chair, then beckoned the
young girl mysteriously with a well-gloved
Queer: "Come over here, E'hel."
Ethel drew a stool to the other's side and
sat down smiling but-mystified.
Mrs. B-,me played a little with the claup
of the silver mounted hand bag which >h>
ctiried, from which, having at last succeed
ed in opening it, she produced a stamped
envelope addressed to herself.
'Do yon know that band writing?'' she
said, flourishing it before E bel astonished
•yes.
"Is is my own; I wrote to ask yon lunch,"
poor E'hf"l answered simply; while the
though' flashed across her mind that Mrs
Byrne had probably gone mad.
"Read it, then." cied tkol lady, with an
air of suppressed amusement which len'
o l<>r to the notion.
Ethel unfolded it quickly then sat trans
fixed like 0"« who receives a sudden and
fatal injury. For before her horror-stricken
eyes glared ihe?e words in ber own hand
writing: "Tours very sincerely, Jack
Davenant."
"Wh*t does it meat:?" she cried at last in
a hoarse voice, for it seemed that some
fiendish magic h id been at work.
"That's what I want to know," Mrs.
Byrne answered more gently. "I recived
this note the day before yesterday. There
was no address, and ihn handwriting was
certainly not Jack's. Nor is my cousin in
the least likely to invite me to luucb at his
ch.imbeiß M> 1 wrote nff to bim at once
and told bim to drop in to dinner if be had
anv'hiug to say to me."
Eibel had risen to her fper, and was
standing with a little fn« j u smile on her
fac; but at this point she brtke in bur
riedly :
"Did you show him (Mr. Davenant) the
U-ttei?"
Mrs. Bvtre nodded She was not a per
son .if deltoate perception and bad come
b»-re bent on a little harmless amusement,
tin ■ somehow the amusement was not forth
c 'mi g.
Ethel c'asped her cold hands together in
a freDzy of despair. She kuew that Jack
whs familiar with her handwriting. Bjid
be not made little criticisms, severe and
tender, on the occasional notes of invitation
wb'ch she bad addressed to vim?
"J.ick said he knew nothing about the
note and hadn't the ghost of an idea what
it, m a »nt."
' Oh, Jack, Jack," cried Ethel's heart in
parenthesis, "what roust you think of
me?"
Mrs. Byrne went on: "Grace Allison
came in later and the mystery was cleared
up. She swore to yonr hundwriting and
we concluded you had done it. in a fit of
abset cc of mind. Poor old Jack, how she
did chaff him!"
Ethel was trying to recover her presence
of mind.
"How conld I have made sneb a stupid
mistake?" she said, with a short laugh.—
"I suppose I was pursuing some tiain ol
thought. I had met your c >nsin at a party
the night before—you know how it is."
Mrs. Byrne was sorry for the girl's die
tress.
"I's a mistake anyone might have made,
though yon must own it was rather fu'-nv.
However, I can assure you this—it won't
get any further. Jack is scarcely likely tc
lell, and Grace has sworn on her honor."
Ethel laughed again, As
far as she was concerned the whole world
was welcome to know it now. No deeper
disgrace could befall her. ''I wonder if h«
isshiieking with laughter or merely sick
with disgust," the poor girl thought when
ber obtuse and amiable visitor bad a' last,
departed. "On, how 1 hate him—how I
bate bim!" Which was bard on Jack,
considering that bis own conduct in 'he
matter had been irreproachable But
Ethel was in no mood f r justioe. It,
seemed to her that she had utterly be
trayed and disgraced herself; that never
again could she venture to show, herself in
a world wbeie Florence Byrne, Grace Alli
son, and, above all, Jack Davenant lived,
moved, and had their being.
Sick with shame, hot and cold with an
guish, poor Ethel sat cowering in the great
drawing room like a guilty thing.
Ethel astonished her family at dinner
that evening by inquiries as to the s»at,e of
tbe female labor market in New Z -aland.
Uncle Joe, a pbilantbrophio parson wbo
happened to be of the party, delighted to
find his pretty niece taking an interest in a
suhject so little frivolous, delivered him
self of a short lecture on the subject.
Ethel sighed at bearing that there was
so little demand for the work of educated
women (save the mark!) in that distant
colony, and began to turn her thoughts
toward Waterloo bridge.
"E bel funks on being an old maid. Sbe
knows that positively any girl can lasaoo a
husband in New Zealand," her brother
Boh remarked in a challenging tone.
B it. E hel bore it with uninteresting
rreekness; perhaps, she told heiself, she
was a husba. d hunter.
After dinner Bbc put on ber hat and stole
ont into the street. She had been indoors
all day, nnd could bear it no longer. Tbe
June evening was still as light as day, and
simple-minded couples were loitering with
frank affection in R-gent's nark. She had
not gone far befote she saw a large familiar
form bearing down in her direction.
"Oh. how I hate bim—l bate him!" she
thought again, while ber heart beat with
maddening rapidity. 'Tf be has a spark
of kindness in him he will pretend not to
see me."
But Jack, for it was be, made no such
pretense. On the contrary, be not only
raised bis bat, but came up to ber witb
on'stietched ha' d. She put ber cold fin
gers mechanically into his and scanned bis
face; there was neither mirth nor disgnsi
in it; aud the thought ilished across ber,
chilliii; while it relieved her, that be
probably attached little Importance to an
incident to which she, knowing ber own
seer t, had deemed but one interpretation
possible. And then before she knew what
bad happened, Jack was walking along by
her side, pouring out a torrept of indignant
reproaches as to ber deseitiou of bim in
favor of Dicky Carshalton at tbe Warring
ton's party.
"It is you," cried E'bel, witk sprit, for
the unexpected turn of affairs bad restored
ber courage—"it is you, Mr. Davenant,
wbo were so unkind, to stand by and let old
friends be victimized, without striking a
blow in their b"balt! Pray what did you
expect me to d. t Was I to have said: "No,
thank ynu, Mr. Carshalton; I prefer to
stay here with Mr. Davenaui?"
'And, if you bad said it, would it bave
been true?"
Sbe changed ber tone suddenly.
"Dicky is such a bote! I think I prefer
anyone's society to his."
He stopped short ia the path, teizing
both her bands and looking down at ber
with stern and passionate eyes.
A close-linked couple strolling by re
marked to o c another that there had heen
a row and then refreshed themselves with a
half dnz°>n kisses.
"Eihel," said Jack, in an odd voice, "it's
no use pretending. You do think of me
sometimes; I happen to know it "
| Sbe was looking up at lire, bnt at this
allusion the sweet face flashed and dropped
suddenly.
''Ethel"—Jack's voice) sounded stranger
and stranger; was he going to langh or
cry, and why on earth did he speak so low
—"Ethel, do you know what signature 1
should like to see to your letters?"
Th'.s was too much.
"No, I don't!" She lifted her flushed
r<te; the cruel tears shone and smarted in
her eyes
"Can't you guess?"
"No."
The momentary defiance bad died; a
very meek whisper came from the pale
lips
. "Can't you guess? Then shall I tell you,
Ethel? 'Ehel Davenant'—that's what I
should like to see at the bottom of all your
letters. Shall I ever see it?"
"Jack!"
Further explanation is needless. Wbeo
next they met Mr. Carshalton, both Jack
and Ethel were beyond the reach of his
mac o»uvers.—[ Temple B'ir.

A Virginia Woman.
A Virginia woman of fifty years sgo. w&»
well read in tbe Rible, Shakespeare, Milton,
Young and the English classics generally,
while ber taste for Action w»s satifflrd by
Sir Charles Grandison's "Clarissa," Miss
Bnrt.ey's "Evelini," "Don Q lixote" ar-d
' Gil Bias." At the same time tbe old
English prejudice against the "blue stock
ing" was largely entertained. The
daughter of a distinguished lawyer who
had vpntnred to read "Blsckstnne" was
thought by ber companions to be alarming
ly eccentric, and tbe study of tbe dead
languages or mathematics was deemed an
pnc'Hchmnrit upon 'he masculine province.
N> Virginia woman dared, to talk polities',
It waw considered shockingly nufeminine,
and yet she must have done a great deal of
'h nkiiig, for somehow her sons, while
babies, learned patriotism at their mother's
knees.
She was eminently domestio in her habits,
•killed in needle work and dexterous in
management. Nowhere more frequently
'ban in "the Old Domioion" was to be
beard the adare "C'einliness is akin to
godliness," and the A B C of ladyhood was
thought to consist in perfect neatness. The
simplicity of good tsste marked her dress,
and her ornaments were apt to be tew. If,
however, she wore lace or jewels they were
genuine, for she scorned sham or preten
sion of any sort, and was true to the core in
small things as well as great.
Conversation was an art she peculiarly
excelled in. To begin with, ber voice whs
S'ft and sweet, which, added to the charm
of an address as affable as it was madest,
made whatever she said seem indeed like
"apples of gold in pictures of silver."—
From a mind well stored with information,
acquired as well by association with onlti
vated and intelligent people from childhood
up as by steady reading, tbe food mother
was wont to instruct, ber children while she
entertained her guests, without whose
presence a Virginian country home would
s»em stripped of its crowning glory.—

Dr. Talmage's Celestial Dream.
One night, lying on my lonnge when very
tired, my children all around me, in full
romp and hilarity, half awake and half
asleep, I dreamed this dream : I was in a
far country. It was not Persia, although
more than oriental luxuries crowned the
oities. It was not the tropics, although
more than tropical fruitfnlness filled the
gardens. It was nor. Italy, although more
than Italian softness filled the air. And I
wandered around, looking for thorns and
nett.les, but I found that none of tbem
grew there, and I saw the sun rise and I
watched to see it. set, but it set cot. And I
saw tbe people in holiday a'tire, and I said:
"When will they pnt off this and put on
workmen's garb, and again delve in the
mine, and swelter at the forge ?" bat they
never put off the holiday attire.
And I wandered in the suburbs of tbe
city to find the place where the dead sleep,
and I looked all along the line of the beau
tiful hills, tbe place where the dead might
meet blissfully sleep, and I saw towers and
castles, but not a masoleum or a n■oint
ment, or a white slab was there to be seen.
And I went into the cbapel of the great
town, and I Said : "Wbere do tbe poor
worship f and wbere are tbe benches on
which they Bit?'' and tbe answer was made
me, "We have no poor in this country."
And then I wandered ont to fl id the hov
els of the destitute, and I found man-ions
of amber and ivory and gold, but not a tear
could I see, not a sigh could I hear, and I
was bewildered, and I sat down under the
branches of a great tree, and I said, 'Where
am I? and whence comes all this scene f
And then out from among the leaves and
up the fliwery paths, and across tbe bright
streams there came a beautiful group
thronging all about, me, and as I saw tbem
come I thought I knew their step and as
they shouted I thought, I knew their voices
but they were so gloriously arrayed in ap
parel, such as had I never before witnessed,
that, Ibo ved as stranger to stranger. But
wben again they clanped their ba«ds and
shouted "Welcome, Weloome !" the mys
tery all vanished, and I found that time
had gone and eternity had come, and we
were all together again in oar new home in
heaven.
And I looked aroord and said, "Are we
all here ?" and tbe voices of many genera
tions responded, "All here !'' And while
tears ol gladness were raining down t-ur
cheeks, and the branches of the Lebanon
cedars were clapping their hands, and the
towers of the great city were chiming their
we come, we all together began to leap and
shout and sing . "Home, home, borne."—

Who Freed tbe Colored People?
Senator Ingalls in his speech so landed by
Republicans, adheres to the partixsn scheme
of falsifying history to glorify bis party. It
is customary for political tricksters to mis
represent facts. In speaking of tbe color
ed people of the South he said: "The same
impulse which made them loyal to their
masters throughout the war has made them
faithful to their deliverers since." Now,
Mr. Ingalls is too smart not to know that
be belies tbe facts when he claims the K
pnblican* are th« deliverers of those colored
people. For tbe Rspub'iean party had no
intention of molesting slavery. And tbe
masses of the party opposed it till.in 1863 it
was accep'ed as •» war measure. Did no'
Mr. Lincoln make overtures of peace in 1861
to Alex. H. Stephens and assure the South
through Stephens that he (Lincoln) bad no
intention of interfering with slavery, but
would protect that institution?
In his inaugural address March 4>h, 1861,
he (Mr. Lincoln) said he had "no puipos*,
directly or indirectly, to interfere with the
institution of slavery in tbe States where it
existed " He also declared that a slave es
caping from one State into another should
be delivered up to his owner, thus pledging
himself that runaway slaves should be re
turned to boodage.even though tbey should
escape into free Bates.
Hon. J. J Crittenden offered the follow
ing resolution which was almost unxni.
rcously p»ssed by the U S. House Of Re
presentatives: "That in this national emer
e.noy. Congress, baniah'ng all feeling of
mere passion or resentment, will reoo'iect
only its duty to the whole count-y; that
this war is not waged upon our pan in any
spirit of oppression, nor for any pn ■ p—e of
conquest or subjugation, nor purpose of
overthrowing or interfering with ibe rights
or established institutions of the Sates, but
to defend and maintain the supremacy of
the constitution, and to preserve the Union
with all the dignities, equality and rights
of tbe several States unimpaired, and that
as soon as these objects ate accomplished,
the war ought to cease."
Here wag a direct and positive declaration
by the Republican party that they d:d not
design, in proseoiting tbe war, to inteif-re
with slavery. And the Rushville Republi
can of Oot. 9r,h, 1861, heartily indorsed this
Crittenden resolution as its platform.
In 1863 when Gen. Freem.iut issued his
order in Mi-soori to liberate slaves as a
military scheme, Lincoln countermanded
the order and removed Freemont; and also
: Bf<ued a proclamation (May, 1862,) repu i
ating an order issued by Gen.Hunter.eman
oipating all the slaves in Georgia, Florida
aud South Carolina. And Jan. Ist, 1863,
be explains tbe reason for his emancipation
proclamation by plain words of the instru
ment itself, v'z: "As a fit necessary war
measure for suppressing said rebellion."
Here, then we have tbe evidence of Mt.
Lincoln that slavery was abolished as a war
measure. Then, how can Republicans have
tbe effrontery to stand up and claim that
they are tbe deliverers of the colored people?
It la to fondle and flatter the colored man
to get his vote! That is the only pur
pose.
As emancipation was a "war measure"
the colored people have the leaders of the
Southern Confederacy to thank far free"
dom. For, had they stopped the war the
day before Jan Ist, lß63,slavery would not
have been abolished.
It is a fact that when Lincoln issued his
first proclamation of Sept. 1862, foreshad
owing the emancipation proclamation,there
was a threatened revolt among Republican
soldiers. Open dissatisfaction was freely
expressed by such expressions as this: "I
didn't volunteer to fight to free niggers."
But af ci time mollified their feelings, they
again felt outraged by tbe proposal to en
list, col .red troops. At fltst conflicts occur
red between whire and colored troops on
acoount of tbe prejudice of the former, but
radical papers justified tbe enlistment by
arguing that a"a uigger has as good a right
to be shot at, as a white man." Bat, how
pronn R=>p:ib!icaoH are to forget these facial
They don't wish to recollect them, colored
men need to scrutinize the acts of tbeir pre
tended friends.
Toe Republican party had no intention
of abolishing slavery Although they now
deify old John Brown, th»y denounced him
as a lnnatic while hn lived, and Brown had
no futh in them. Toe Confederates freed
the slaves.
How TO Markt Well.—What girls
should never forget is to he neat! Not
primly so, but daintily so. The girl well
got up, with irreproachable gloves, and
shoes that fit, though her gown be only cot
ton, yet if it be well turned out, may com
pete with tbe richest, while tbe slovenly
dresser, who soorns or forgets to give atten
tion to details, is passed over by tbe discon
tented e\ c, though her gown may be a mas
terpiece of Worth's.
A girl should learn to pnt ber gowu on
properly. No creature living takes more
beed of externals than your orthodox man.
He may not know the price, color, or ma
terial of your clothes, but he will know to
a nicety whether you are well or badly
gowned.
One special point I would impress upon
tbe girl wbo desires, (as all girls do) to
range themselves well,to make a good mar
riage—is to be gentle. Tbe cram for viva
city,for the free and easy style that borders
so closely on the manners of the demi mnnde
tha distinguished the society of ten years
ago bas providentially died a natural death.
Now a days, men are sensible enough to
look for comfort in their married lives.—
And surely tbe knowledge that one's future
w fe has a beart as tender as it is sympathe
tic should, and does, go far to arrange a
man's decision of who shall be the partner
of bis daily life.—Ths Duchess, in Ladies'

Asa Brautiful Womb* Happiest?—
In my life I have known many women well.
Among tbem is a fair majority of what the
truly appreciative would call bappy, for
which fact I thank God,as it baa helped me
to take, on tbe whole, a hopeful view of
life, as well as human nature. How, are
those women, blessed as many of them are
with devoted husbands, cheerful homes,
cultivated society, and leisure for the exer

tions. No. Indeed, more tbau a few of tbem
are positively plain, if feature only is con
sidered, while from tbe rest I can single out
but two or tbrea whose faces and figures
conform to any of the recognized standards
of physical perfection. But they are loved,
they are honored, they are deferred to.
While not eliciting the admiration of every
passer-by, tbey have acquired through the
force, tbe sweetness, or originality of their
character, the appreciation of those whose
appreciation confers honor and happiness,
and, consequently their days pass in an at
mosphere of peace and good-will which is
as far above the delirious admiration ac
corded to tbe simply beautiful,as the placid
shining of the sunbeam is to the phenomi
nal blaze of an evanescent flame.—ANNA

A Kentucky Fend.
FAILURE TO BKSPECT THE OLD SATINu,
"NEVER KICK A SLEEPING D 00."
"There is an old saying," remarked Col
lector D. W. MoClungtoa Cincinnati Com
mercial Gazette man, "which is to this ef
fect: 'Never kick a sleeping dog.' Now,
that reminds me of a story once told by a
Kentucky friend of mine, the circumstance*
in connection with whioh led to the origin
of a fend between two back county families,
tbe relics of which still survive, although
the history dates back fully thirty years. A
stalwart young farmer was eDgaged to be
married to the daughter of a well-to-do
neighbor living about five miles away. The
course of true love ran smoothly among all
parties, the only objector being the family
dog of the house ot tbe bride. He did not
hesitate to show bis disapproval of tbe pro
ceedings by snarling at the young suitor
upon each and every visit Well, one day
the young man got lonesome, so he mount
ed up on tbe hurricane deck of his borse and
rode out to see his girl. The bouse in which
she lived was oue of tbe old fashioned,
double h»wed log dwellings, but one root*
deep and having a front, and baok door ox
ac'ly opposite. Both were, open, as it war.
a drowsy sort of day in the middle of sum
mer.
"The old man was seated in a chair co> .-
fortably tilted back against tbe jamb of je
door, so that the light fell over bis sho. ,er
upon his newspaper. In Ihetn'ddlei he
room stood the table, laid for dit ner. In
tbe middle of tbe front yard and right
acioss the path, the old house dog-lay
stretched out in the full enj lymanl of a
uap. Our hero rode up to tbe gate, dis
mounted, tied his horse, and entered. As
he advanced be uoticed the object of hie
aversion, and determioed to give him a taste
of bis boot.
"Tbe results of the assault did not enter
into his mind. Reaching the recumbent
form of the enemy he dealt out a kick with
his heavy cowhide boot that resounded in
the house. Tbe dog leaped to bis feet, took
one dazed look at the awful boot, which wae
again ready, turned tall and disappeared in
the house like a shot. He flaw past tbe old
man; right under the taVe he went, and
here met disaster. The table-cloth was un
duly long, and on tbe side leading to the
back door, for which tbe dog was making
with race-horse speed, there was a hole.
"The d"g did not stop to measure it, bat
it fitted around his neck with the precision
of a dress collar, and the result was that he
took the cloth with bim, while all the
dishes settled with a heart rending crash
upon the floor. Tbe visitor beard the
crash, and, turning, fled for tbe gate and
his borse. Cutting the strap, he vaulted
to his seat and gave the animal the rein
and his spurs. Away he flew down tbe
road. Away flew the dog across tbe flalds
back of the house, with tbe tablecloth
waving defiantly in the wind.
'-The old man had risen to bis feet with
electro suddenness when he saw the de
struction, and turned to note the cause.—
He saw the fleeing lover, and reaching lor
his ready rifle sent a bullet whizzing after
him without effect. The young man rode
to the bouse of a mutual friend, quite two
miles away, before he drew rein, and there
narrated the circumstance
"The listener laughed immoderately, de
spite the serious nature of the episode and
its possible sequel, and then explained.—
Said he: "That dog beat you here about
five minutes, and is now under the bouse
with tbe tabli cloth. He won't come out,
either.' Well, the upshot of it all was
that the roach was broken off. Both pe.>-
ple married eight or ten years later into
other families. Tbe difference was never
reconciled, and it was only by the exercise
of constant watchfulness on tbe part of
mutual friends that bloodshed was pro
vented on numerous occasions. Such was
the beginning of oue Kentucky feud, and
all because the old proverb was despised."
IJ ni:! Points of a Horse.
Plenty of breadth and fullness between
the eyes.
A short, straight back and a straight
rump.
The eye should be full, and in coloi • ha
zel is good,
A small thin ear well thrown forward,
and a straight elugiut I ice.
A square muzzle, with large nostrils to
let in plenty of air to tbe lungs.
The withers should be high and ths
shoulders well set back and broad, but not
too deep in the chest.
For tbe under side of the bead a good
horse should be well cut under tbe jow.,
with jawbones broad and wide apart under
tbe muzzles.
The fore leg should be short. A pretty
straight hind leg with the hook low down,
the pasture joint of good length and a me
dium broad foot. —Fort Worth Gszette.

now it tips the beam at exactly two pound*,
when dressed. It is per'ectly formed, and
is now eoj lying the best of health.although
for a few weeks it had a hard struggle tj
keep alive. Tae h-i ni of the lnsty little
one is about the siz > of a hen's egg, and is
adorned with a stroug growth of dirk bair.
Its face bas a peculiarly amused expression.
A flager ring will easily slip over its hand,

Don't neglect a little cold. It may be*
come a great fever of inflammation.
Well and Happy.
I take pleasure in submitting the follow
ing statement of facts that you may know
the great beneflc that has resulted from tbe
use of your specific in the case of my little
daughter, now ten years of age. Tbe ohild,
when two years of age, had a severe attaok
of scirlet fever, which left her' With a shat
tered constitution. Among other evidences
of impaired nutrition was what the doctor t
called softening of the bones. In her fift'i
year she happened to a slight accident
wbioh resulted in the dislocation of the hi i
joint, and from the irritation thus set up,
teriible abscesses of.the bip ensned. The
abscesses, despite the best medical treat -
ment that could be obtained, remained sue
three years, discharging continuously. At
this time, through the influence of frienda,
I put her on S. S S. When this treatment
was commenced the abscess was very larg i
having six perforations, pus discharging
through tbem all. During this treatment
several spicules of bone came out, and by
the time she had finished ber fifth bottle
tbe abscesses had entirely healed,her appe
tite and general health had been restored -
in short, she was well and so continues.
